The dance: Texas Tall Tales for September 28
Here's the rough sketch for the next installment of Texas Tall Tales. Since it is rough it may take a little explaining. The man in the foreground is black and in his mid-fifties. He is leaning against a wooden fence in a Texas pasture. He is holding a rose and has his eyes closed. Behind him in the foggy, moonlit pasture is a ghostly couple dancing. The man is wearing a tuxedo and the woman is wearing a bridal dress. The woman also holds a rose. The whole painting will be in sepia tone except for the roses, which will be full color.
The working title of this painting is "The dance" for this blog. The official title will be decided by the winning entrant's story. ABOUT TEXAS TALL TALES: This monthly feature for the Victoria Advocate, debuted Sunday, Aug. 31. Texas Tall Tales will have a painting that depicts something whimsical, odd or surreal. Each painting will have a title. Readers will be encouraged to make up an imaginative story that matches the painting. The best story will be published and the writer will get a framed archival print of the painting. 2 comments from 2 users

rzavala - I LOVE this already. I'm not a romantic person by any stretch of the imagination, but there is something that is already so perfect about this, even in rough sketch. I know that you said the final drawing would go to the winner of the story contest (I think that's how you said it would work), but if you had another copy of this, or the final product, I would be willing to put up good money for it. Are any of these going to be for sale, even as copies? Inquiring minds want to know.
